Consignments now invited for the first Important & Rare auction in our new premises
International Art Centre’s Important & Rare auctions are the proven, preeminent sale category for major works offered through the New Zealand art market. As we fast approach our 50th year in business, experience continues to equal results. 2014 saw International Art Centre realise five of New Zealand’s top ten auction prices.
The following year saw new records set with the two top prices in Auckland achieved at our Important and Rare auctions. With the addition of record prices paid in April’s recent sale International Art Centre has now achieved the three highest art auction prices in New Zealand history. With an appreciative, and greatly valued clientele of nationwide and international buyers and sellers we look forward to breaking new ground.

Prestigious New Gallery & Auction House opening mid August 2016
Same side of street, just 150 metres along
272 to 202 Parnell Road
International Art Centre have been based in the same Parnell Road gallery space since opening the doors in 1971. After 45 years, the time has come for an upgrade of premises. We were thrilled to recently announce our forthcoming relocation to purpose-built auction and gallery premises, and look forward to showcasing offerings in this brand-new building - located on the same side, just 150 metres down the road.
We thought that this major event, after a period of over four decades at 272 Parnell Road called for a brief reflection: International Art Centre's establishment in 1971 represents a seminal moment in the history of the New Zealand art market. Having gone from strength to strength throughout the years, we have led the market, set innumerable records, and re-defined the potential of the New Zealand art world. Arguably more important than market-defining considerations, is the role which has been held by International Art Centre as a communityfacing meeting point and destination.
As the first ever art gallery and auction house in Parnell, the significance of our presence in the community was firmly established from the outset. Distinguishing ourselves by reputation, approachability and excellence, we helped nurture a strong culture of support for the visual arts in the area, which enabled countless galleries and art programmes to arise and thrive at our side over the years. Indeed, Parnell’s current reputation as a modern and contemporary arts hub owes much to the foundational work accomplished over the decades by International Art Centre.
Through our dedication to exhibiting and selling art in an open and accessible manner, we have operated independently in the art world. Thereby enabling a direct and transparent engagement with an ever-expanding local and international clientelle. As such, we pride ourselves on being a welcoming space where major institutions, connoisseurs, collectors, artists and enthusiasts cross paths with members of the local community, the uninitiated, and those who simply wish to satisfy their curiosities and expand their cultural horizons.
Building on this community-based acclaim and market excellence, our relocation will ensure that International Art Centre continues to move forward as the purveyor of New Zealand’s finest and rarest historical art, whilst championing the cutting-edge aspects of New Zealand’s contemporary practice. We believe that our beautiful new space will stand out as an emblem of the present emboldened era in the New Zealand art market. Furthermore, it represents our longevity as a vital institution, affrmingourpositionasakeyfigureheadand artistic stronghold for the New Zealand visual arts community.
Based over one level, our new premises will facilitate ease of flow between exhibition and auction space, in addition to offering easy access and car parking. This fresh, new look will enrich our comprehensive auction and exhibition programme for 2016 and beyond with a spirit of forward-looking momentum.
272 to 202 Parnell Road
Forty five years of fond memories at 272. Yes, we are on the move but we are taking decades of fun, memories, history and excitement with us.

Gabrielle Hope was born in Lower Hutt, she attended Auckland’s Diocesan School for Girls and studied at Elam School of Fine arts. The mother of two children, she lived in Whitford, Waiheke Island and in 1950 purchased a home in Tohunga Crescent, Parnell. Gabrielle’s wide circle of friends included fellow artists Helen Brown, Jan Nigro, Louise Henderson, Robert Nettleton Field, Eric Lee Johnson and Lincoln Lee.
Her subject matter extensively encompasses still lifes, landscapes, figures, animals and portraits. The influence of Picasso, and an admiration of Frances Hodgkins is reflected in Hope’s work as is her fascination with western and eastern occult philosophies and symbolism. From 1946 she exhibited with the Auckland and Hamilton Society of Arts and the Auckland City Art Gallery in 1955/56.
From today’s perspective Gabrielle Hope’s work is more vital and modern than ever. There is an uncompromised bravery of brushstroke, a quality of perception leaving no doubt that she was a woman artist ahead of her time.
The artist’s early death at just forty six years of age cut short a career of already considerable achievement.
